passedpawn's Double-Barrel Bottling

The best ideas are often the simplest and passedpawn has a great example of that here. Here is what he had to say about it.

"I thought about making a manifold to hold the two bottling wands, but I already had a second spigot, so here it is. Worked exactly as I expected: twice as fast."

"I thought really hard for about 5 minutes on ways to do this without 2 spigots. I thought about milling holes / channels in delrin, encasing a plastic 'Y' connector in a polyurethane block, and some other dumbnesses that aren't coming to me now."

"I'm glad I took the easy route and just put the second spigot in there. It made my bottling day so much faster, and I learned that my old Williams Brewing spigot is extremely slow (or there's something wrong with that bottling wand). I can almost fill two bottles with the one on the left before the one on the right is done. So, I'd say my bottling day is now 3 times as fast." [Read More]

I used to stand all the bottles on the ground under the fermentor and put the carbonation drops/sugar/whatever into each bottle. I had a tube which ran from fermentor tap onto bottling wand. Can then insert the wand inside each bottle and fill fill them all in one hit. No messing around with grabbing next bottle, etc, etc. Cut bottling time by half.

What really cuts down on bottling time is shifting to a keg system. yeehaa!!
